PTA Program!

So today my husband and I found out that he got into the Physical Therapy Assistant Program! We weren't supposed to find out until sometime next week but the lady was really nice and told him she thought he would like to know earlier in an e-mail he got! It was the biggest relief ever. We were praying and hoping he would get in. The timing worked out perfect to because he has no more classes he can take towards his degree at Dixie State. So we were thinking if he doesn't get into the PTA Program he might have to start classes at SUU. We are so happy that Dixie State finally got this program and now we can stay here for at least 2 more years! After that he wants to keep working his way up to become an actual PT. So that is many years down the rode but this is a great start! I feel like we have been truly blessed and that the timing was totally right for this. Especially now that we have a baby on the way. I feel secure and know that Collin will have a great job that will help support me and the baby! Life couldn't be greater and we are so thankful for our many blessings!

14th Week Appointment!

So today I had my 14th week Appointment and it went good! This was the first time I actually got to hear the heartbeat! The doctor found it pretty fast. I was nervous I wasn't going to be able to hear it again so when I heard that little heartbeat I was so relieved! The doctor said everything looks great. The heartbeat was 145bpm. I have even gained 3 pounds! haha. My belly is starting to pop out more but I'm thinking I probably won't really show until about 6 months. I will post a picture of my belly soon! I have been meaning to post one just haven't had the time. My next appointment is Janurary 5th and then the doc is going to schedule an ultrasound so I can find out what the sex is! I am soooo dang excited for that! I thought I was going to find out sooner but I'm just going to have to wait!

10 Week Appointment!

Today I went to the Dr. for my 10 week appointment! I was so excited to hear the little heartbeat! So the Dr. came in and got the little heartbeat ultrasound and started rubbing it on my tummy. Some time goes by and we couldn't hear anything! I was getting a little scared at this point. So the Dr. tried something else and then did the ultrasound again and still nothing! He told me to get dressed and that he would do the ultrasound to where you can actually see the baby. He said I would be able to see the flutter of the heart. He didn't want me to go home worrying! So I got dressed and of course at this point I am freaking myself out thinking that maybe there really isn't a baby and that I am going to miscarry or something. So I was about in tears! Thank goodness Collin was with me trying to comfort me. We waited for probably like 15 minutes which seemed like an hour and he finally came in. What a relief! I could see the uterus and the baby inside! I could see the little heart beating and I got to see his/her arms and legs move! It was the most amazing thing. The Dr. said everything looks great! Of course I stressed over nothing! The Dr. said because I'm tall that my uterus is far back under my pelvic bone which makes it harder to hear the heart beat. He said sometimes you can't hear the heart until like 12 weeks. So even though I didn't get to actually hear the heart beat I did get to see the heart and the baby! So I kind of feel lucky in that way. The Dr. said I will find out the sex of it a couple days after new years! I am way excited for that! My next appt. is December 8th. So I will keep you guys updated!

Thanks to Friends, families, and my husband!

So I was just thinking that I need to be more grateful towards my family and friends for being so kind and happy for me about my pregnancy! Not only have most of you congratulated me but you also ask how I am feeling and doing! I have found myself complaining a lot about being sick or whatever and I just have to remind myself to shutup and be grateful for what I have! What a blessing! I seriously don't know what I would do without family. I am pretty blessed to have my sister and her husband here but also Collin's family. Collin's mom is always making sure I have everything I need! She is great! I wish my mom could be here but I am glad I can always call her if I need advice or questions and concerns! And to all my friends, you guys are all great! Thanks for being so excited for me. It shows you really do care! You guys make me want to be a better person and be like that. And finally thanks to my husband! I could not handle all of this without him. He is such a sweetheart. He is always getting me what I need and asking me what he can do. He always gets me something to eat in the morning so I can sit in bed and eat without throwing up. I am sure all of your husbands do the same thing! Sometimes when you can't stand them you just have to think how could you live without them! ha. Well I just felt like saying thanks to everyone! Your the best!

Baby's First Things!

The pictures with the balloons is how I surprised my mom! The other pic is just my baby's first items that I bought! Well my mom bought the toy and I got the onesies. I tried to get a neutral color since I don't know what I am having yet!

5 Weeks Pregnant!!!!

Ok I know I haven't updated my blog in like 3 months but I never had anything exciting to blog about! Either that or I am just super busy and lazy! ha. Anyways this past Saturday I found out that I am pregnant! For those of you who knew I had just started taking Clomid to help me ovulate more and get my periods regular. So I started taking it on the 3rd day of my cycle last month. Well I started to feel gaggy a little and I wasn't planning on taking the test until like today but my wonderful sister begged me to just take it Saturday because she had a feeling I was! So I gave in and took it. I peed on the stick and within like 30 seconds the test came up when it usually takes like 3 minutes! I looked up and it said PREGNANT! I swear I must have looked at it like 50 times to make sure! I yelled Collins name and he came rushing in and I said we are pregnant! He started to cry and gave me the biggest hug! It was a tender moment. My mom came down yesterday so I decided to wait and surprise her with it. It was the hardest thing keeping the good news from her! Yesterday I tied balloons that said its a girl and one that said its a boy and I put baby clothes over the bed. I took her to the room and opened the door and she was shocked! She also started to cry! It was all worth it in the end. I went to the doctor Monday and I am 5 weeks along and due somewhere around June 7th! I feel so blessed! Me and Collin are super excited to start our own family. My next appointment is November 10th and by that time I will be able to hear the heart beat! I will try my best to keep my blog updated! So exciting!

FLORIDA!

Me and Collin were very lucky to be able to go to Florida this past week! Our friends Ryan and Ruth invited us to go with them and stay in Ruth's parent's house/condo at Summer Bay. We didn't have to pay anything to stay for a whole week! There would have been no way we could have gone to Florida if we had to pay to stay so it worked out awesome! Thanks Ryan and Ruth! We all had a blast! We went to Sea World, the beach, an air boat ride, dinner and show, went on the worlds tallest sky coaster and almost peed my pants! ha. Then we just enjoyed being lazy! Collin served his mission in Florida so he got to see a lot of the families and his companion! One of the families is in the pics and his companion is also. It was cool to meet them! It was such a fun vacation but I am glad to be out of the humidity and back in the dry desert!

Bretty Boo Boops!

So I just had to post this because Brett is probably the cutest downs I have ever met! This was the last day of school for the post high kids until next year so I brought my camera! This was Brett's last year at Post High! We are all so very sad because he was like our favorite kid! He did the funniest things and made us all crack up all the time every day. We never just called him Brett. We always call him Bretty Boo Boop or just Boo Boop. I think Julie(the other girl in the picture with Brett) came up with it? Ha. I'm not sure but it's hilarious. It's one of those things where you have to be there to get the whole jist of it. Brett always called me Banana. I'm pretty sure it's because he couldn't really say my name. ha. Or he would call me Belle off Beauty and the Beast and he would call Julie Chip the teapot off Beauty and the Beast to. haha. He is the funniest kid ever. We are all going to miss him tons!!!

Bretty Boo Boops!

2 Year Anniversary!!!

So this past Tuesday on May 12th was our 2 year anniversary! I really can't believe that it has been 2 years already. It has been a great 2 years though! Of course there has been struggles here and there but you learn and grow from them and it makes you appreciate and love each other even more! On Tuesday we had reservations at the Anasazi Steakhouse. It was delicious!!! It was pretty expensive but sooo worth it! It was one of those places where they bring out your meat on a hot lava stone and you cook your meat to how you like it. They also have fondue's there which was my favorite part! It was awesome. After dinner we went to a movie and then Collin had a big surprise for me! He got a one nights stay at a place called " Eden's Keep" a romantic getaway. I just have to say that it was probably the most amazing and romantic room ever! Once you see the pictures you will see what I mean! It is located in Washington by the old dance factory and Staheli's catering. It is kind of a big secret because nobody really knows about it. It is a family owned business and they only have that one room for now. So when we pulled up in our car it kind of looked like a little shack. I know that sounds bad! ha. But once Collin opened the door, WOW! The room is kind of like a cave theme. So we walked in and to the right was a little kitchen area and then there was a bucket with sparkling cider and 2 glasses. Then I looked down and there was rose petals leading down the hallway. So we turned the corner and there was a huge tin bathtub and a huge king size bed and a massage table! There was a big screen TV that rolled up out of the rock. They had a surround sound system in there so you could hook up your I Pod for some romantic music. They had 2 robes and slippers for both of us. They had fresh fruit and muffins for the morning along with our favorite drinks. The shower was awesome! They had a huge shower head that was so High so when you turned it on it was like it was raining! Oh and they had a little spot where fog would come out and would change colors. You could set the lighting in there to romantic and they had a huge tree with those sparkling lights in it. I think that is pretty much all the details! I am only telling all the details because I think everyone needs to experience this room! If you want to look at pictures just type in Eden's Keep a romantic getaway in google and you will see even better pictures! So our stay was AWESOME! Collin did such a good job surprising me! I am so happy he is my husband and I love him very much!

Weddings!

This past weekend Collin and I went up North for two weddings! Collin's aunt was getting married and then my good friend Shanna got married. It was a blast! It was so good to see Collin's aunt get married. She is such an amazing woman and deserved the best! I have never seen her more happy. Shanna and I played College volleyball together at Dixie State. We became really close friends and did everything together! We had some good times! I am so happy for her as well. It's such a neat experience to be in the sealing room and watch someone else besides yourself get married. It helps you remember the day you were in their seat and the feelings you had. I love it! This weekend we have to go up North again for my cousin's wedding. I can't believe how many people get married in the spring time. Collin and I will have been to 5 weddings within 2 months! It's pretty crazy but it is also so fun to see people you love so happy!
